India 116-3 (56 ovs); Target to win: 340 | Scorecard

Everything to play for in the final session at MCG. Ravi Shastri believes India will be happy to play for a draw and unlike at The Gabba in 2021, they won't attempt to snatch an unlikely victory.

Surprise move as part-time spinner Travis Head starts off with the ball in the post-tea session. Australia are three overs behind the required over rate and they want to make up for it and not lose WTC points.

The field is spread around as Jaiswal hits the first ball to long-off for a single and Pant takes one off the next.

Jaiswal picks a single off the third ball before Pant keeps out the last three balls.

Lyon from the other end. Jaiswal plays and misses as he tries the cut shot before he blocks the next.

Jaiswal takes a single to midwicket before Pant is beaten by some sharp turn and the same last ball as the left-hander plays and misses again.
